My Old Poems (2011)

Russian Roulette #13

Baby let's play Russian Roulette

Then we will be all set

One of six

You will get your fix

As it spun 

And you won 

As you pulled the trigger

I began to figure

Then I heard click

Was this a trick

One out of five

One will be left alive

As it twirled

I almost hurled

It landed on me

Maybe I would be set free

I put the gun to my head

About to taste the lead

I shot a blank 

Then my heart sank

One of four 

This is an open door

It's ok to fear

This is so unclear

looking through the glass door

I knew for sure

One of us will walk away

And one of us will lay

Then we made a decision 

With precision

Then we decided to keep going

With the tension growing

Instead of divorce we chose this 

Sealing the deal with one final kiss

The gun pointed toward me

Now i see 

That your fate 

Is fueled by your hate

This is fun

But should be shun

I said this laughing at this immature game

I don't want fame

But to praise his name

Which others put to shame

I pushed back the hammer and pulled

It  once again fooled

One of three

Time to let it be

As it spun around

No joy to be found

It landed on me 

But i was too blind to see 

I pulled back the hammer

Then the gun started to shimmer

I pulled as hard as I could

And as fast as I should

Then that was it

My heart quit

Now that this is over

I'm glad that you are sober

Congratulations on winning Russian Roulette

Are you glad you won the bet

Do you like what you did to me

Now I am free

No more complications

No more frustrations

How can you look at me

And with such glee

You are stuck on this Earth

And I am stuck with this reverse birth

There is no solution

To all this pollution

Are you glad that this is all over

Are you still sober

My last request

At best

Is that you put down that beer

It will bring you near

To your last days

As you walk through this haze

Congratulations on winning this game

I hope it brings fame to your name

Thanks for playing Russian Roulette

I am glad you won your bet

Thanks for the eternal sleep

Your love keep

One day we'll meet again

Due to sin

Thanks for everything

And thanks for nothing

You were clever 

But I knew better

I cannot believe

That you would deceive

Thank you for swaying the game 

To your name

I'm glad that this bet

Is set

This is the time to verify

And clarify

That was a good competition

And a great composition

You are so rotten

And you will be forgotten

The end of Russian Roulette

Now you're all set
